Heavy metals and PAHs in mussels on the Serbian market and consumer exposure
The goal of the study was to investigate the concentration of heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in 84 samples of mussels, collected from supermarkets and fish markets in Serbia. Lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic concentrations were determined using an inductive coupled plasma mass spectrometry method. Sixteen PAHs were determined using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method. Heavy metals in the mussels were in the range (mg/kg) of 0.01–0.74 for lead, 0.01–0.38 for cadmium, 0.01– 0.15 for mercury and 1.12–5.87 for arsenic. Metals and PAHs levels in all analysed samples were under the legal European and Serbian legislation limits. The provisional tolerable intake values were calculated on the base of the obtainable values of heavy metals. Mussels are considered to be safe for human consumption. However, one should take care of the amount and frequency of mussel consumption, primarily due to consumer’s cadmium and mercury burden.
